Summary: Text vanishing from QLineEdit fields of Qt4 based application "Steuer-Spar-Erklärung 2008" Product: Wine Version: 0.9.52. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: pelzi@flying-snail.de
In "Steuer-Spar-Erklärung 2007" and ...2008 (a German tax declaration software), based on Qt4, existing text in QLineEdit controls vanishes irreproducibly. The program seems to contain logic to ensure that any existing text in input fields becomes selected when these input fields are activated. If you press Tab to switch to the next input field, the existing text will be deleted, however (the only issue that seems to be perfectly reproducible). If you press Esc to undo any changes, the original text blinks in a selected state and immediately disappears again. Other ways to change input focus seem to trigger such a behaviour only at random: a mouse click into a different field might clear the text that was the selected before the click, or clear the text in the new box, or both. Switching to a different page of the application might delete any text that was selected on the old page (or not).
All this seems to be quite similar to the problems reported with Qt3, see bug #10850.
